Peaches

She has never played by the rules. That is exactly why Peaches has become one of the defining figures of alternative music over the past two decades. Her live shows are as much performance art as they are concerts, blending music with humour, provocation, boundless energy, and complete artistic freedom. If you’ve ever heard that people lose their courage with age, Peaches is living proof of the opposite.

Born Merrill Nisker, Peaches is a Canadian musician, producer, performer, and feminist icon who broke through with her landmark album The Teaches of Peaches. She has collaborated with artists including Iggy Pop, Daft Punk, Christina Aguilera, and Yoko Ono. Her music has appeared in Lost in Translation and The Handmaid’s Tale, while her work has become the subject of academic research around the world. Beyond music, she directs her own videos, creates multidisciplinary performance projects, and continues to redefine what a live show can be. In 2026, she released No Lube So Rude, her first studio album in more than a decade. On it, she speaks openly about identity, ageing, bodily autonomy, and the right to be heard. As Peaches herself says, the album was made for everyone who refuses to give up their voice. And if her legendary live performances are anything to go by, absolutely anything could happen at Colours of Ostrava.
